OVERVIEW

We are Drew and Maddy - Husband and Wife - Best friends and Photographers. We work exclusively with fun, free-spirited couples who have a passion for life and each other. Those who want their wedding day images to be more than just a series of photographs.

We are big on not taking ourselves too seriously and love to have fun. We are crazy about our little family and treat our dogs like royalty. When we aren't photographing the most beautiful love stories, we are planning our next adventure, making new memories, catching up on our favorite shows, spending time with friends, being foodies, enjoying coffee and living life to it's fullest!

FAQ

Our style is Romantic, Photojournalistic, Natural, Intimate. Our priority is to keep the day as relaxed & fun as possible for you and we are here to document what really happens in an unobtrusive way, capturing beautiful and truthful pictures with movement and emotion, that tell your story and represent the day as it unfolds. 

Our wedding work is on the documentary & whimsical side of the wedding photography fence, with dashes of rawness, romance, soft focus & moodiness at times. We look for the intimacy & the raw emotions in the 'in between' & unseen moments, searching for light, mood & beauty.

Get in contact with us! We want to hear all about you two and your wedding. If you find yourself super excited to have us be a part of your wedding, then we can send you out an agreement.

We work on a first come, first serve basis. In order to reserve your date, we require a signed wedding agreement and a $750 deposit. Then your date is booked with us!

A second instalment of $750 is due three months after signing the wedding agreement. The remaining balance is due two weeks before your wedding date.

Yes, of course! We would love to meet you! We’re there for one of the most special days of your lives and it’s important for us not to be strangers. Whether we meet in person or video call, it’s great to chat and get to know one another. We would love to hear all about you both!

Our backgrounds are in photography and design so it was a relatively smooth transition into the wedding world. We started our company in 2011 and we’ve been a part of over 300 weddings. And we’re having a blast every step of the way!

We both shoot with Canon 5D Mark IVs, and use mostly prime lenses. We prefer natural light, but will also ALWAYS be prepared with on-camera and off-camera flash.

We deliver your High Resolution photos at their highest quality (High Definition) online. With this digital delivery format for your photos, you can download the files to a USB drive as well share them with your family and friends.

Your wedding images will be complete and ready to view no later that 5 weeks after your wedding date. We want to edit and sort each wedding to the best of our abilities and take pride in the quality of photos we deliver. We won’t compromise the quality of the photos we provide to deliver them sooner.

We photograph in South Australia and Victoria, traveling in our Van, and love it! We never charge a travel or accommodation fee! We are always up for an adventure with you!

WOW WOW WOW - so over the moon with our photos!!! Communication in the lead up to, and post wedding put our minds at ease. Drew worked perfectly with the lighting, and made us feel relaxed and like we weren't 'posing'. We didn't even really notice Drew was there during the ceremony and reception, but he somehow captured all of the loving, warm, funny moments and got the best shots of the guests, capturing the most candid, warm moments. I almost dropped my phone when we got an email the day after the wedding that the sneak peak photos were ready to view! Drew delivered on time like promised, and answered any questions I had without making me feel like I was being annoying. Anyone looking to book Run Wild you will not be disappointed, highly recommend.

Drew, you were the absolute best! From the moment we met, we knew we were in great hands. Your chill and funny vibe made us feel so at ease, and your passion for photography is infectious! You captured our special day at the Manor Basket Range on Wednesday, April 24th, 2024, in the most incredible way. Your attention to detail, creativity, and ability to catch the perfect moments left Dan and I speechless! We can't thank you enough for the stunning photos, the laughter, and the memories we'll cherish forever!

Where to begin! We honestly cannot recommend Run Wild Photography more highly. From the very beginning, Drew was so easy to communicate with and talk to. There was never any question to small or silly, he was extremely prompt at replying and was more than happy to make our wedding day exactly personalised to how we envisioned. From the very first moment of us getting ready on our wedding day, Drew made the vibe so very natural and easy! He was doing a whole lot of shots without needing any in-put from us whilst we got ready - it was amazing. There were so many little additional things that Drew helped with also, such as pocket squares for the groom/groomsman, button holes for my Dad, the corsage for my Mum, setting the suits and wedding dress up beautifully... all these small details made THE WORLD of difference on the day to create a relaxed vibe. From the second we walked into the venue, the relaxed vibe continued and it barely felt like we were being photographed - the one thing we emphasised to Drew, was that we wanted to be present for our cocktail hour and actually enjoy our wedding day without being gone to long for photos. Let's just say - we didn't miss one thing of our day. Drew was able to do this in a way that captured everything we had dreamt of, without rushing us and in such a genuine relaxed way. We had SOOOOO many compliments about Drew and I can't wait to see our full wedding album. Our sneak peak photos came through very shortly after (THE NEXT DAY!!!), and they are absolutely amazing. From the bottom of our heart - thank you to Run Wild Photography for making our day seamless and perfect. If you are looking for a photographer, all we can say is - stop looking right now and book Drew + Maddy. - Mr and Mrs Langcake xx

I was in awe when we received our photos back from Maddy and Drew. I am extremely self conscious of having my photo taken and I can honestly say I have never felt so beautiful than when looking back at my photos. Drew made the whole experience so comfortable and enjoyable for myself and my husband, all of the special moments of our day were captured plus more! Thank you so much for your amazing gifts Maddy and Drew xxxx.

Maddy and Drew are absolutely delightful. Great communication in the lead up to the day. On the day they were relaxed but proficient. Incredibly helpful with anything they could lend a hand with. Always up for a laugh and a great chat and worked incredibly well with our other suppliers.

What are the various styles of wedding photography?

I want to learn more about wedding photography. What are the various different styles?

Run Wild Photography

Traditional, Classic:

The photographer works from a “shot list," ensuring he or she covers all the elements the bride and groom have requested.

Photojournalism:

Rather than posing your pictures, the photographer follows you and your guests throughout the wedding day, capturing events as they unfold in order to tell the story of your wedding.

Illustrative Photography:

A pleasing blend of traditional and photojournalistic, with an emphasis on composition, lighting and background.

Portraiture:

Posed pictures that emphasize one or more people. Couples interested in a more edgy result may prefer Fine Art Portraiture , with its dramatic lighting, unique angles and European flavor.

High Fashion:

Striking, simple photographs that dramatize the subject—and, of course, her clothes!

Natural Light:

Rather than using a camera flash, photographers use the natural light found in a setting, usually daylight.
